Wondering what everyone is using for their breather catch cans (if you're using one at all)... from your oil tank on a higher compression 6 cylinder?
I used to just have a K&N filter on the fitting from the oil tank, but it kept misting so much oil through it it would leak down into the engine compartment. Plus I now have a longer vent from the transmission since we put the trans cooler on it. i would love to be able to vent them together into a catch can if possible, but don't know which direction to go. i have a few ideas, just curious what others have used. TIA |

TIA Check out this install that Josh Chambers did on Kermee...super professional & clean. Funny thing is...near zero accumulation & I've really hammered it at two DE'S thus far...that says something about how tight the 2.7 is that he built. Thanks Josh! Attached thumbnail(s)
